PhysicsWork, Energy and PowerJEE Advanced 2013

The work done on a particle of mass m by a force, (K being a constant of appropriate dimensions), when the particle is taken from the point (a, 0) to the point (0, a) along a circular path of radius a about the origin in the x-y plane is

Answer: (D)

Solution

The force is , a central force directed along the position vector. Along a circle centred at the origin the displacement is always tangential, i.e. perpendicular to $Missing argument for \vec\vec
